How to Prepare a Flaxseed Smoothie

post from How to of the Day on 26 February 2011 09:34:25 PM. © How to of the Day

Flaxseed is one of those foods we're all supposed to eat more of, but it's not a common ingredient in many recipes. Flaxseed is an excellent vegetarian and vegan source of omega acids.[1] It can simply be eaten raw (try sprinkling it on a salad for texture). Don't cook it over 180ºC / 350ºF, though, or the nutritional benefits will begin to degrade.Here is a smoothie that incorporates flaxseed, perhaps the tastiest way to sneak it in.

Modern dining room lightning

post from IKEA Hackers on 26 February 2011 03:35:09 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Löbbo, Hemma, scissors, knife

Description: 3 small Löbbo shades were cut on the long side in small strips. These strips were stuck in small cuts I have pierced into one big Löbbo shade, that's it.

It is quite a lot work, it looks best, when the pattern of the strips is rather irregular woven. I also used the non shiny side of the shade in the front - so it looks more natural.

The shades are hung up on the usual Hemma lighting suspension.

Kitchen Island Beauty

post from IKEA Hackers on 26 February 2011 02:34:49 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Varde free standing cabinet

Description:
1) Took the Varde cabinet (great organizer, looks tacky from the back).
2) Added a shoe organizer at the end (so when we come into the kitchen from the outside we leave boots at the door, and grab slippers from the shoe organizer)
3) Covered the whole thing in 1/4 ply and 1 x 3 MDF trim
4) Painted
5) Installed new Ikea wood counter on top (removing worn out thinner one that came with the unit)

Half-pint Effektiv holds computer and subwoofer
for media desk

post from IKEA Hackers on 26 February 2011 07:35:34 AM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Effektiv cabinet, custom birch plywood table top

Description: Last year, we installed a large set of Effektiv cabinetry in the family room: shelving for games and books and drawers for videos and toys, etc. Two standard Effektiv wall cabinets across the middle created a 67" wide space for a desk, but Ikea has no good option for tables or desks 67" wide. So, we made a 67" wide birch-plywood "media desk" using this cut-down Effektiv cabinet for support. "Media desk" means that the cabinet contains and hides our media computer and the subwoofer part of the audio system. It also hides a large pile of cables, with the help of a Galant cable organizer.

Beachy Bedroom Retreat at Emerald Cove

With snow, cold and just plain blah end-of-winter, Michelle's beachy bedroom makeover is a breath of fresh air, a special space to dream about vacation and warm breezes.

Before was beautiful with sand inspired walls, board and batten and cottage comfort.

After - Michelle changes to pretty "Shoreline Mist" blue and fresh clean whites with an airy atmosphere. So inspiring!

I love her driftwood accents - especially the driftwood garland.
Beautiful ruffled gray bedding. ((scribbling on my wishlist))

See that beautiful mantel?

Viktor has made a Spinning LED Activity Indicator. Just connect it to your hard drive LED output and watch the ring of LEDs speed up and slow down based on hard drive activity. The original Spindicator can be found here, and this was indeed the inspiration for this version that Viktor built.
